Just 30 mins to an hour. It's really nice to be able to drop it so easily. It has very little addiction feeling, and it's easy enough to just open the app and go through what's new and then close it.
I spend less than an hour a day, usually. I end up scrolling past a lot of the posts because they don't interest me and are more long form content, but I like to catch up on the memes and cats
A few hours give or take. Usually I read some threads or browse technology news in !technology@beehaw.org Sometimes, also share some news related to the android world in a Lemmy community like !android@lemdro.id
Seconded this. I'll read about things I don't even give a damn about, I just like reading. I'll get better at commenting more one day, try my best for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Depends on the day. If I dismiss outliers where it's less than 20 minutes, my average is probably about 90 minutes based on checking my app history over the past few weeks. A good chunk of that is typing comments, sometimes looking up a good link to include. I usually swipe through while skimming posts and open comments for a post once in a while, occasionally adding a comment in there. I rarely post anything but comments.
Today I'm at 35 minutes and probably mostly done for the day.
Too much. I alternate between xitter, lemmy and YouTube. Sometimes I leave YouTube on in the background while I alternate twitter and lemmy.
It's a problem.
I just keep it to my phone, and have an app timer set for 1 hour +5 minutes. It's nice if I'm at home, I know it'll cover my daily walking steps, as I pace donuts around the house, which also gets me off my ass and moving, so when I want to browse Lemmy, I try to do so whilst pacing. Regardless, when I get the notification saying the app will shut down in 5 minutes, I know how long I've been on, and kinda do a self-reflective check on how well the time was spent.
If I'm writing a comment that will take time and attention, though, I often just switch to a note, and copy/paste, cause I'll work on something like that for much longer, before often deciding not to post anything, at all. (งツ)ว
Less than an hour a day, when I was spending all my days on that other platform back when I used that. So the switch to Lemmy was a healthy choice for me. I've been applying some strategies to do the same to YouTube.
I've got a Firefox extension that blocks websites after an amendable period of time is spent on them, so I limit my time on social media websites to 1 hour a day because I felt I was spending too much time reading mindless drivel, and I often don't even reach an hour nowadays, having only looked at Lemmy.
Around an hour. I like reading but there isn't very much original content to read here. There are tons of articles, but I hate those since there's so much filler.
Not a lot, I don't think long usage of social media is beneficial to anyone in the long run, even though I've been running a (small) instance for quite a while now.
I have integrated checking social media feeds (just Lemmy and HackerNews nowadays) into my daily routine, usually only happening in the morning and evening. Because of my admin and mod duties, I end up opening Lemmy more than twice a day, but only to check on reports, applications, etc.
